Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention generally relates to personal computers. Particularly, the present invention relates to a portable personal computer.
- 2. Description of Related Art
- Some portable computers, such as notebook computers and laptop computers, have small bodies to be conveniently carried and used anywhere they go. Other portable computers, such as personal digital assistants (PDAs) have rather smaller bodies to be more conveniently carried, but some functions that can be accomplished by the notebook computers or the laptop computers are sacrificed.
- An ultra mobile personal computer (UMPC) has a smaller body than the notebook computers and the laptop computers, while being slightly larger than the PDAs. Popularly, the UMPC has a 7-inch screen. Meanwhile, hardware of the UMPC is similar to that of the notebook computers or the laptop computers. Therefore, the UMPC can have as many functions as the notebook computers or the laptop computers while still being convenient to carry like the PDAs. However, a popular UMPC has a keyboard that occupies a rather large volume, which is a disadvantage.
- In one embodiment, a portable computer includes a first display, a second display, an interconnection portion, and a controller module. The first and second displays are rotatably connected to each other by the interconnection portion. At least one of the first and second displays is capable of sensing operations of users and generating sensor signals according to the operations. The controller module is used for driving the displays, and receiving the sensor signals.
- Other advantages and novel features of the portable computer will become more apparent from the following detailed description of embodiments when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a portable computer in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the portable computer including a controller module (not shown); -
FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the controller module of the portable computer ofFIG. 1 ; and -
FIGS. 3 and 4 respectively show two using states of the portable computer ofFIG. 1 . - Referring to
FIG. 1 , a portable computer in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes afirst display 12, asecond display 14, and aninterconnection portion 16. Theinterconnection portion 16 rotatably connects thefirst display 12 and thesecond display 14. Therefore, thefirst display 12 can be folded with thesecond display 14 for saving space. - The first and
second displays second displays - In an embodiment, one of the first and
second displays first display 12 can be used for displaying interfaces of the operating system and the applications to users. For instance, when the portable computer is used for word processing, thefirst display 12 can be used for displaying a document, and thesecond display 14 can be used for displaying a keyboard interface. Users can touch thesecond display 14 at corresponding positions of the keys; thereby operations of the users are sensed by thesecond display 14. Thesecond display 14 generates corresponding sensor signals accordingly. The sensor signals are processed and by the processors (not shown) shielded in the portable computer under the first andsecond displays second display 14 can display different keyboard interfaces with different key distributions when the portable computer is used in corresponding regions of the world. In other embodiments, thesecond display 14 can display a handwriting panel. Handwriting operations of the users on thesecond display 14 are sensed and processed to be converted into input commands. - In another embodiment, both the first and the
second displays second displays - Referring to
FIG. 2 , the first or thesecond display sensor 202, adisplay panel 204, and abacklight panel 206. The portable computer further includes acontroller module 30 for controlling the first andsecond displays controller module 30 includes abacklight controller 302, adisplay controller 304, asensor controller 306, and aninterface controller 308. - The
sensor 202 is connected to thesensor controller 306. Thesensor 202 is used for sensing the operations, and generating the sensor signals according to the operations. The sensor signals are sent to thesensor controller 306. Thesensor controller 306 is used for switching on or off thesensor 202, and adjusting a sensitivity of thesensor 202. - The
display panel 204 and thebacklight panel 206 are respectively connected to thedisplay controller 304 and thebacklight controller 302, for displaying data and images to users according to the control signals sent by thedisplay controller 304 and thebacklight controller 302. Thebacklight panel 206 is used for providing backlight for thedisplay panel 204, like many commonly used display devices. - The
interface controller 308 is used for transferring the sensor signals to other auxiliary components (not shown) of the portable computer, such as the processors, and receiving relative control signals sent from the auxiliary components to transfer them to thebacklight controller 302, thedisplay controller 304, or thesensor controller 306. For example, theinterface controller 308 is able to receive display signals from signal sources, such as graphic cards, to transfer them to thedisplay controller 304, for driving the first andsecond displays - Referring also to
FIG. 3 , in use, thefirst display 12 is used for displaying images and characters to users, and thesecond display 14 is used for displaying ahandwriting window 402 for users to write on. The handwriting operations of the users are sensed by thesecond display 14, and corresponding sensor signals are generated according to the handwriting operations. The sensor signals are processed by processors of the portable computer, thereby the handwriting operations are recognized, and relative input commands are generated accordingly. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , in another use, thefirst display 12 can be used for displaying interfaces of the operating systems and applications to users. Thesecond display 14 can display akeyboard interface 406 for users to key in commands or data that are sensed by thesecond display 14, and corresponding sensor signals are generated accordingly. - In other embodiments, the first and
second displays - The embodiments were chosen and described in order to explain the principles of the invention and their practical application so as to enable others skilled in the art to utilize the invention and various embodiments and with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated. Alternative embodiments will become apparent to those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains without departing from its spirit and scope. Accordingly, the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description and the exemplary embodiments described therein.
